I don’t have a specific memory of seeing Jaws for the first time, but I do remember being scared to go in the ocean!
My dad lived on Martha’s Vineyard while the movie was being filmed. I was visiting him that summer. His neighbor made a great white shark weathervane for the movie. (I think it went on Quint’s house but I’ve never seen it in the movie.) Anyway, the neighbor got to be friends with the film crew, and we went to a party they were having. So my big claim to fame (ha!) is partying with the Jaws film crew.
My husband’s and my favorite scene is Quint’s soliloquy about the bomb. Perhaps the scariest part of the whole movie! Sooo chilling!!
Regen we rewatched Jaws last week, we had no idea it was the 50th anniversary! 😂 Bit where been reading all of those articles as well
My theatre memory is the leg being bitten off and drifting down through the water, though I definitely remember the scene with the head too. And I read the book before the movie and it scared the crap out of me!

“…anyway, we delivered the bomb…”
A very good read as always. I didn't know how much I wanted to see Jaws again!
